Another song that Jim jumped on and gave immediate impact to was "Day N' Nite," by Kid Cudi, a native of Ohio who recently inked a deal with Kanye West's GOOD Music. Cudi made a name for himself on blogs and underground scenes with the song, but now unofficial remixes with the new Jim verse on it have started to get prime daytime spins on New York's Hot 97.
The Virginia native refused to reveal any guests, but did say to look for one or two records where it is just him performing by himself.
